Aquentium CEO Attends Tribute to Mexico’s Secretary of the Economy
North Palm Springs, CA
- (WORLD STOCK WIRE) - December 19, 2007 -- Aquentium, Inc. (OTBB:AQNM)
announced today that the company’s CEO, Mark Taggatz recently attended
the Tribute to Mexico’s Secretary of the Economy, Dr. Eduardo Sojo in
San Diego, California.
The Mexico Business Center of the San
Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce hosted the 7th Annual INTERNATIONAL
TRIBUTE AWARDS GALA honoring Mexico’s Secretary of the Economy, Dr.
Eduardo Sojo.
Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon named Dr.
Eduardo Sojo Garza-Aldape Secretary of the Economy in 2006. Prior to
moving up to the Cabinet, Dr. Sojo served as Economic Advisor to Mr.
Calderón during the presidential campaign and was subsequently the
Transition Team's Coordinator of Liaison Work with the Federal Public
Administration. In the Administration of President Vicente Fox, Dr.
Sojo was head of the President's Office for Public Policies and
Coordinator of the Economic Cabinet (2000-2006). He also held several
positions in the National Institute of Statistics, Geography and
Information and the Head Office of Economic and Social Policy. At the
state level, he served as Guanajuato Coordinator of Economic Planning
during the administration of then-Governor Vicente Fox, where he was
responsible for economic policy design, planning and evaluation.
Secretary Sojo is in charge of the Mexico portion of the "Security and
Prosperity Initiative" of Presidents Bush and Calderon to help assure
that the economic benefits of cross border trade are not hindered by
the security aspect of the border crossings.
“I was pleased to
be able to share with Dr. Sojo our re-deployable emergency housing
solutions, and am hopeful that our interests in Mexico will continue to
move in a favorable direction. I strongly believe the Aquentium housing
solutions can be of great benefit to the country of Mexico and its
citizens for many years,” stated Aquentium CEO Mark Taggatz.
Low-cost
and prefabricated housing initiatives and projects are a priority for
the 32 Mexican States, as well as for the Mexican Federal government.
CONAPO (National Council for Population) estimates that Mexico will
require an additional 5.2 million dwellings in the coming years.
The
housing construction industry in Mexico has experienced constant growth
over the last 5 years, growing at an average pace of 4.5% per year.
Housing has been the banner for the current government under President
Felipe Calderon by generating employment and stimulating the economy.
With a market in the pre-fabricated and low-income housing sub-sectors
for years 2006 to 2008 of over 1.4 billion dollars per year and growth
projections at around 3.3% per year until 2010, the housing industry
promises to be one of the most attractive sectors in which to invest
for companies.
